I can't run away, imaginary fortress, I can't run away I captain away, imaginary tall ships, I captain away All I need is to feel the feeling gone What I really conceal are antique thoughts, of you and me, and still... I will remember your love, always Such a shame we could not find a way Dreaming away, imaginary gorgeous, dreaming away Put pen to the page, imaginary songstress, put pen to the page All I need is to feel the feeling gone What I really conceal are antique thoughts, of you and me, and still... I can still feel it burning on my lips I can still feel your frosty fingertips

In the Mood 03:34
We could never really know we were right At one in the morning I took a little bit of liberty with your time At one in the morning I’m too old, but feel so alive And she’s so down Work up the courage in the middle of the night And cuddle up to you darling I’ve got a little bit of liberty in my life I can double up if you want it
3.
The wounds will heal, and we can mend fences I put the blame on our failed senses I repeal, and remind the love in your eyes The wicked game and faultless defenses Put the reigns on all we hold precious And the rain comes down when it's sun otherwise We can reel back the time Get back the feeling And throw out the reason I lit the flame and you were relentless Begging mercy on your hot dress I believe I'm relieved of a sensible lie If you stay, we'll root out the regret I'll behave and promise a lucky bet Just a craving, clearly, I'm willing to try
4.
I wander where I believe where I belong I wonder what they would make of me now I can't say, better loved and lost I still can't say, that I've loved at all According to the life we share And telomeres beyond repair The algorithm in the software A ghost encoded in the malware I believe you're really in there The bramble in the wires The program ran on a backup install The framework prompted a runtime debug I can't say if the format was BIOS I still can't say if it's C+ or C#
5.
I had a dream, that we were on the dance floor In the gleam, and glitter on your hands In the groove, and swaying to the music It was smooth, and lucid in my my mind If I could only make it real forever On the move, I saw you on the rail car I watch the sun shimmer in your eyes From a distance, I record a memory Another reel, in the movie of my life

On the Rim 03:46
Ain't it weird, how everyone knows It's just how it goes They're rubbing my nose in it I plan to go, a weekend in Rome I brush up on my role for this Prego and gratzia, and the girls know... I wander on the rim of living sideways I'm farther from the center of the pathway But it's real to me to go on living it that way I'll make it clear, so everyone knows I'll write it in prose I'm making a song of it For the shame, a weekend in Spain I brush up on my role for this Hola and Gracias, and the girls know... 
7.
Your faith, as it is, in the breeze Feigns to cry out in the wind As some would call perfectly grim But it's all very good, cause... You're grieving, all alone, by the sea again Far from the heathers of home And the road is cold When the bright eyed raven claims us all A memory of you and me on the glen Questions of why, and better led By the rain drops in my whiskey Glencairn But it's all very good, cause…
8.
Suffering, crawling on all fours Play for me, the fortune horn forlorn Savoring, tea alone in the morn Favoring, the room to call all yours Be brave, come out in the warm of the sun If it rains, well it's just par for the season Cast away, far from all the norm Currently, the current flows outward Billow please, your sails toward the shore Fatherly, I'll care for you when you're worn
